LEISURE TIME
rntisp of our tush in registering, paying fees,
fcinl trying to find our new classes, we have not had
time to think about leisure time. However, now
that school has brought so many of us together,
mil hois in the various "youth" and "recreation"
magazines have gone hog-wild on the subject.
In answer to popular urging, this column will
rffer a few hints as to what to do between a one
ti'ckxk class and a three o'clock lab. Below are
listed ten different 'Cys for Cornhuskers to fritter.

"Good Neighbor Policy Is Bunk" reads the head
line of a story in Friday's Kansas State Collegian,
which went on to say, "I'm afraid the South Amer
icans don't love us," William C. Troutman, asso
ciate professor of the Public Speaking department
at the college told Rotarians at a meeting yester
day. 'There isn't that palsy-walsy quality that we are
lead to believe and hope for," he continued . . .
"they think we're a bunch of dollar-chasers, a big
bag of wind, and we ought to either put up or
nations that South Amer-
ieve that the imperialism
exercised by Uncle Sam is just about as bad as
Hitler's, only Hitler's is a little farther away.
"Thruout his talk," the Collegian continued, "Mr.
Troutman, who spent the summer traveling in South
America, pointed out that these statements were
not his own impressions, but were impressions
gathered by talking to South Americans themselves."
It is no news that students en-1

every form of transportation
known, but when the same trio
starts out by plane and train and
runs the gamut to hitchhiking be
fore they finish - that makes a
story.
Hitchhiking would not have en
tered the picture except for misin
formation on non-resident fees at
Nebraska, but that comes later in
the story.
Following the advice of Horace
Greeley, because they heard that
schooling in the middle west was
very inexpensive, three Brooklyn
ites, Mel Sabro, Stanley Ulanoff
and Bert Wine, descended on the
campus last week determined to
be good Cornhuskers -and get an
inexpensive education. The first

Stiff Non-resident Fee.
Visions of an inexpensive edu
cation vanished rather rapidly,
however, when administration of
ficials billed them for a J100 non
resident fee, and the boys three,
since tlity all found themselves in'
the same boat, teamed up to look
for another school.
A quick survey of their finances
convinced the three that the only
possible way to get to Iowa, where
they could afford the fees, was to
hitchhike but after a few miles
of the highway they took a bus
when motorists seemed reluctant
to give them a lift.
"Well, anyway, travel is educa
tional," was Ulanoff's last remark
as he got on the bus for Iowa City,
where classes begin Tuesday.

Equality of the sexes, an ever controversial sub
ject, has been discussed in letters to the editors
to some extent during the past week in the edi
torial columns of the Daily Californian.- In answer
to a letter written by a girl pleaing, of course, for
t equality of the spxes, the following paragraphs
were penned:
". . . we have decided to wire our senator to
have him change the draft law to include women.
We are sure that they (the women) desire all
men's rights and duties.
"We don't know how they'll like interrupting
their beauty sleep to get up at 5:45 a. m. Of
course they II love the 20 mile hikes with a 50
pound knapsack or, even better, peeling piles of
potatoes stacked higher than Mt. Whitney.
"I am sure co-educational army camps would
Increase the army's morale, however."
At that, do we want equality, coeds?
